Summer in the Farm

Written by on August 8, 2010 – 2:46 pm7 Comments | 1 Read this

Last week, in the Grey­hound from Mon­treal air­port to Ottawa, I stared at the win­dow for the two hours’ long trip. I couldn’t peel my eyes away from the scenery. We drove that road many times, and yet it still appeals to me: Canada is beautiful.

Such a vast land. Such empty places between cities. Such as wild place at times. The light, the sky, the col­ors, every­thing looked vivid and alive. It was like being in a paint­ing. Don’t get me wrong, Europe is beau­ti­ful too, but com­ing from cramped cities such as Paris, open spaces are fas­ci­nat­ing.

A few days  ago, I walked to the Exper­i­men­tal Farm, nearby our place, to try to cap­ture the sum­mer atmosphere.Can you believe it looked like that just six months ago? The clouds that day were low and looked quite car­toon­ish, and the col­ors were just amaz­ing.

You can see the whole Ottawa Sum­mer set here.
